Former UN ambassador John Bolton will not run for President

Here is something new, a Republican is actually announcing he or she will not be running for President in 2016.

Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton announced on Thursday he has decided not to run for President.

"I have decided not to seek the Republican nomination for President. I believe I can make the strongest contribution to our future by continuing as a clear and consistent advocate for a strong, Reaganite foreign policy that values peace through strength.

"While I am not a candidate, I am certainly not going to sit this election out," Bolton said.

Bolton said he will continue "to focus on the 2016 Republican presidential race to make certain that foreign policy is critical to winning the nomination."

"Nor will I stand idle while our president surrenders our national interests and liberals rally around his ideological twin: Hillary Clinton," Bolton said.
